Korean

Chi'Lantro BBQ

This fast-casual mini-chain offers a veritable choose-your-own-adventure of options. Bowl or Ssäms? Korean BBQ steak or spicy pork, fried egg and pickled veggies, and the sauce, maybe a little more traditional with Sriracha or lime juice, or more West Campus with spicy ranch? Hey, they were probably the first in town to serve Japchae noodles – and definitely the first to serve those iconic kimchi fries.
